Study Design: A retrospective analysis. Objectives: Length of stay (LOS) is one of the important indicators for the quality of patient care. Although perioperative complications are known to be associated with longer LOS in general, little has been understood regarding LOS after 3-column spinal osteotomy for the rigid spinal deformity in pediatric population. The main objective of the article is to identify factors affecting the LOS in pediatric patients undergoing 3-column posterior spinal osteotomies. Methods: Following research ethics approval, a retrospective review was performed of 35 consecutive posterior 3-column spinal osteotomies performed on pediatric patients in a single academic institution. Patients’ demographic data, preoperative comorbidities, details of operative procedures, intraoperative complications, and postoperative complications were investigated, and LOS was compared among the groups. Results: The mean LOS was 9.0 days, and the median LOS was 7 days (range = 4-23 days). Low body weight and syndromic deformity were associated with longer LOS. Operation time ≥6 hours and total perioperative fluid administration greater than or equal to twice the estimated blood volume were associated with longer LOS. Among postoperative complications, those with respiratory complication had prolonged stay. Conclusions: Preoperative low body weight and syndromic scoliosis had longer LOS after 3-column osteotomies. Excessive fluid administration and respiratory complications were associated with longer LOS.

There are presented results of surgical treatment of 347 patients with colorectal cancer. Based on the retrospective analysis a comparative study of results of surgical treatment for colorectal cancer using laparoscopic technologies and “open” access was carried out. Predictive factors that correlate with the risk of postoperative complications with laparoscopic and “open” access at the surgical stage of treatment for colorectal cancer were determined.

Objectives: To report the incidence and risk factors for prolonged hospitalization, discharge to a facility, and postoperative complications in geriatric patients who underwent surgery for patella fracture. Design: Retrospective database review. Setting: The American College of Surgeons—National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP) collects data from 600 hospitals across the United States. Patients/Participants: NSQIP patients over 65 years of age with patella fractures. Intervention: Surgical fixation of patella fracture including extensor mechanism repair. Main Outcome Measurements: Prolonged hospitalization, discharge to a facility, and 30-day post-operative complications. Results: 1721 patients were included in the study. The average age was 74.9 years. 358 (20.8%) patients were male. 122 (7.1%) patients had a length of stay greater than 7 days. Factors associated with prolonged length of stay include pre-existing renal failure, need for emergent surgery, and time to surgery greater than 24 hours from admission. 640 patients (37.2%) of patients were discharged to a facility after surgery. Discharge to facility was associated with age >77 years, obesity, anemia, thrombocytopenia, pre-operative SIRS, and CCI > 0.5. Admission from home decreased the odds of discharge to a facility. The most common postoperative complications in this population were unplanned readmission (3.4%), unplanned reoperation (2.7%), surgical site infection (1.1%), mortality (1.0%), venous thromboembolism (0.8%), and wound dehiscence (0.2%). Complication rates increased with anemia and ASA class IV-V. Conclusions: Geriatric patients undergoing operative intervention for patella fractures are at high risk for prolonged hospitalization, discharge to facility, unplanned readmission or reoperation, and surgical site complications in the first 30 days following surgery. This study highlights modifiable and non-modifiable risk factors associated with adverse events. Early recognition of these factors can allow for close monitoring and multidisciplinary intervention in the perioperative period to improve outcomes. Level of Evidence: Prognostic level III.

Abstract Background Acute kidney injury (AKI) in hip fracture patients is associated with morbidity, mortality, and increased length of stay. To avoid this our unit policy recommends maintenance crystalloid IV fluids of >62.5 mL/Hr for hip fracture patients. However, audits have shown that many patients still receive inadequate IV fluids. Methods Three prospective audits, each including 100 consecutive acute hip fracture patients aged >55, were completed with interventional measures employed between each cycle. Data collection points included details of IV fluid administration and pre/post-operative presence of AKI. Interventions between cycles included a revised checklist for admissions with a structured ward round tool for post-take ward round and various educational measures for Emergency Department, nursing and admitting team staff with dissemination of infographic posters, respectively. Results Cycle 1: 64/100 (64%) patients received adequate fluids. No significant difference in developing AKI post operatively was seen in patients given adequate fluids (2/64, 3.1%) compared to inadequate fluids (4/36, 11.1%; p = 0.107). More patients with pre-operative AKI demonstrated resolution of AKI with appropriate fluid prescription (5/6, 83.3%, vs 0/4, 0%, p < 0.05) Cycle 2: Fewer patients were prescribed adequate fluids (54/100, 54%). There was no significant difference in terms of developing AKI post operatively between patients with adequate fluids (4/54, 7.4%) or inadequate fluids (2/46, 4.3%; p = 0.52). Resolution of pre-operative AKI was similar in patients with adequate or inadequate fluid administration (4/6, 67% vs 2/2, 100%). Cycle 3: More patients received adequate fluids (79/100, 79%, p < 0.05). Patients prescribed adequate fluids were less likely to develop post-operative AKI than those receiving inadequate fluids (2/79, 2.5% vs 3/21, 14.3%; p < 0.05). Discussion This audit demonstrates the importance of administering appropriate IV fluid in hip fracture patients to avoid AKI. Improving coordination with Emergency Department and ward nursing/medical ward staff was a critical step in improving our unit’s adherence to policy.

Abstract In patients with liver cancer or space-occupying cysts, they suffer from malnutrition due to compression of gastric and digestive structures, liver and cancer-mediated dysmetabolism, and impaired nutrient absorption. As proportion of these patients require removal of lesions through hepatic resection, it is important to evaluate the effects of malnutrition on post-hepatectomy outcomes. In our study approach, 2011-2017 National Inpatient Sample was used to isolate in-hospital hepatectomy cases, which were stratified using malnutrition (composite of malnutrition, sarcopenia, and weight loss/cachexia). The malnutrition-absent controls were matched to cases using nearest neighbor propensity score match method and compared to following endpoints: mortality, length of stay, hospitalization costs, and postoperative complications. There were 2531 patients in total who underwent hepatectomy with matched number of controls from the database; following the match, malnutrition cohort (compared to controls) were more likely to experience in-hospital death (6.60% vs 5.25% p<0.049, OR 1.27 95%CI 1.01-1.61), and were more likely to have higher length of stay (18.10d vs 9.32d p<0.001) and hospitalization costs ($278,780 vs $150,812 p<0.001). In terms of postoperative complications, malnutrition cohort was more likely to experience bleeding (6.52% vs 3.87% p<0.001 OR 1.73 95%CI1.34-2.24), infection (6.64% vs 2.49% p<0.001, OR 2.79 95%CI 2.07-3.74), wound complications (4.5% vs 1.38% p<0.001, OR 3.36 95%CI 2.29-4.93), and respiratory failure (9.40% vs 4.11% p<0.001 OR 2.42 95%CI 1.91-3.07). In multivariate, malnutrition was associated with higher mortality (p<0.028, aOR 1.3 95%CI 1.03-1.65). Thus, we conclude that malnutrition is an independent risk factor of postoperative mortality in patients undergoing hepatectomy.
